  1. The Boston Phoenix
    100
    Suffice to say that with all its slowly blooming beauty, alluring aberrations, and deftly measured brute force, the closest analogue to what Fennesz has done on Black Sea seems to be nature itself.
  2. Uncut
    80
    On 'The Colour Of Three' and 'Glide,' Fennesz once again proves himself a match for the Kevin Shields of 'To Here Knows When' or "The Coral Sea." [Feb 2009, p.80]

    There's a mesmeric quality to the layering of divergent sonic textures. [Mar 2009, p.98]
